Isaiah 57:7-9
Lexham English Bible
7 You have set your bed upon a high and lofty mountain;
indeed, you went up there to slaughter sacrifice.
8 And you have set your symbol behind the door and the doorpost;
for you depart[a] from me, and you go up;
you make your bed wide, and you make a deal with[b] them,
you have loved their bed; you have seen their genitals.[c]
9 And you climbed down to the king with oil,
and you made your perfumes numerous,
and you sent your envoys far away,[d]
and you sent down deep[e] to Sheol.

and you looked with lust on their naked bodies.(D)
